Providing contextual augmented reality photo pose guidance

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating and providing pose guides that are tailored to a context of a camera viewfinder stream. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems determine a context of the camera viewfinder stream and provide sample pose images that correspond with the determined context. In response to a selection of a sample pose image, the disclosed systems generate and display a pose guide that is customized to the proportions of a subject depicted in the camera viewfinder stream. The disclosed systems further iteratively modify portions of the generated pose guide to indicate that the subject depicted in the camera viewfinder stream is coming into alignment with the generated pose guide. The disclosed systems automatically capture a digital image when the subject is in total alignment with the generated pose guide.
